Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed June 4, 1907. Seria1No.-3-77,239.

Patented April 27, 1909.

5 Washington, have invented new and useful Improvements in Gloves, of which the following is a'specification.

This invention relates to loves ofthat type provided with a fur bac' ing, although there are certain features which are not'necessarily limited to this style of glove.

' The invention has for one of its objects to improve and simplify the construction of gloves so as to Increase their wearing quality,

protect the fur at certain parts and at the same time ren'der them'oomparatively eas and inexpensive to manufacture.

A further object f the invention is the provision of 'a'welt-like strip arranged atthe seams between the fur backing and the inside tanned-leather portion of the glove, the said glove serving'to prevent the fur backing from wearing off at these seams.

A'still further object is the provision of doubled strips of leather arran ed at the seam between the thumb and pa m portion of the glove and also between the second and third fingenand palm so as to preserve the strips, .thus providing a glove which. will stand considerable wear and rough usage without the seams opening.

With these objects'in view and others, as will appear as the description proceeds, the

invention comprises the various novel features of construction and arrangement of parts, which will be more fully described hereinafter and set forth with particularity in the appended claim.

In the accompanylng drawing, which. illus- 40 trates one of the embodiments of the inventionz-Figure 1 is a plan view of a. glove showing the palm side thereof." Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section. Fig. 1) is a transverse section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail sectional view of one of the seams of the glove showing the Welt therein.

Sun lar'reference characters are employed to designate like parts in the several views.

Referring to the drawing, -1 designates the backing of the glove and 2 the leather palm and finger portion thereof. On the thumb of the glove, the first finger and little finger are Welt-like strips. 3 that are inserted in the seam between the 'backing and tanned leather portion of the glove. These strips project outwardly and considerable distance and serve to protect the fur at these points. The welt 3 at the little finger extends approximately to the wrist portion of the glove so that substantially the entire outside of the. glove between the fur backing and leather portion is amply protected. The welts 3 obviously take the wear incident to the glove coming into contact with objects so that the fur on the top side of the welts is not worn away. The under side of the wrist portion. of the glove is also made of fur and between the front edge thereof and the rear edge of the palm portion 2 is a transverse welt-like strip 2 which protects the fur. It has been found in practice that with gloves having a fur backing and'wris't ortion, the hair rapidly wears away along t e thumb, first finger, little finger, andbetween the palm and wrist portions of the glove, and at all these points Welt-like strips are inserted in the seams, which strips are readily bendable back against the hair or fur when the glove comes in contact with objects, so that the strips .take the wear and thus protect the fur.

Another feature of theglove is the rovision of strips of leather 4 and 5 double longitudinally and inserted in the seams between the thumb ortion 5 and the palm and the second and third fingers 6 and 7 on the palm portion. These strips form features that project outwardly beyond the inner surface ofthe glove and protect the stitching from coming in contact with objects held. in the glove.

The welts and protecting strips can be readily applied to the glove without materially increasing the la or or cost and to greatly increase the life of the glove.

From the foregoing description, taken in connectionwith the accompanying drawing, the advantages of the constructlon and method of operation will be readily understood to those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains and while I have described the principle of operation of. the invention to ether- With the device, which I now consi or to be the best J thereof, I desire to have it understood that the device shown is merely illustrative and that such changes may be made as are within the scope of the appended claims.
